“Sorting Thoughts” is a personal information and knowledge management software. It is designed to manage your thoughts such as moments of sudden inspirations, tasks, events, projects and anything else you may think of.

Ever notice that you seem to spend 80% of your time on 20% of your tasks? Or that 80% of the decisions in a meeting seem to occur in 20% of the meeting time? Welcome to the world of the 80:20 rule. When we design, build and test software, we have to determine where to start and what we should do next. The 80:20 rule helps provide an answer to these questions, while helping to increase our productivity and effectiveness. As well as being an agile principle, it’s a common thread in other disciplines, and there’s a special variation that applies to software defects. We’ll explore the different ways testers and developers are using the 80:20 rule. This rule could be a secret ingredient to help you build software smarter!
